LETTER: A Family Thanksgiving

In the pantheon of wonderful Woodstock community celebrations, Thanksgiving with Family of Woodstock ranks among the best! Family invites everyone to our 37th annual free Thanksgiving Day Feast. It is a heartwarming day filled with amazing and delicious food and a loving spirit of giving thanks for all that we have. It is one of the year's great social occasions and everyone is welcome to participate. Come eat with us and help create the feast by donating your favorite holiday dish. We need both cooks and volunteers to help serve food.

We will serve between 300 and 400 meals from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Nov, 22nd at the Woodstock Community Center. We will also provide "take home" to people who cannot join us and to our police officers and hotline staff who work on the holiday. We cannot do this without your help.
